[feature request] follow mode opening files from outside workspace in a temporary project #1094

Open aleksandersumowski opened 8 months ago

aleksandersumowski commented 8 months ago

As I understand when using treemacs-follow-mode I have currently two options:

make sure that the file I'd like to open is one of the projects within workspace
use treemacs-display-current-project-exclusively that will only keep open the project that contains currently selected file

What I'd like to be able to do is to treemacs to automatically add to the workspace the project containing the file that I open via whatever means, and potentially later on remove the project after I navigate away from that file

Sorry, but given the limited time I have now I'm very reluctant to accept non-trivial feature requests. I won't reject this outright, but my current priority is getting through my backlog.

Maybe treemacs-project-follow-mode can do what you want? Other than that I also have plans for an extension that shows your open buffers inside treemacs, similar to what vs code does. This one is at least towards the top of my list.

I'd like to be able to treemacs-find-file that does not fall under any project in the workspace and have a surrounding project opened. I believe follow mode still requires adding the project to the workspace in advance.
